Random Movie Splurge week

Random Movie Splurge week

Well within the past two weeks I've been watching movies like a madman with random friends since they believed I lived a way too sheltered as a kid. the current list of films I just recently and finally watched are as followed: Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Blade Runner, Die Hard 3: With a Vengeance, Ratatouille, The Adventures of Babysitting (Girlfriend made me watch it :P) and Independence Day. Alongside that I was also able to go to the movies and watch I Am Legend and Sweeney Todd.

After watching the older films I feel so bad for not watching them before, I feel like I was robbed from awesome. Both Terminators, Die Hard 3 and Blade Runner are most definitely favorites now. Normally I'm a sucker for cheesy sci-fi and action flicks but this stuff was genuine awesome. Then again a group of movies starring Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Samuel Jackson and Harrison Ford can only add up to one thing: Kickass!!!! I still find it funny though that the day I decided to see Blade Runner 1up suddenly puts up a review on it's influence on current media. After watching it I had to agree with what the review said.

As for the films I saw in theater, both were exceptionally good. The first one I saw was I Am Legend which I have to say was an great movie. That's if your not one of those by the book critics that hate films going off the original book's story. I like how they formed the environment and how they set it up as how New York would look like if it was suddenly uninhabited by humans. I also did enjoy the story and the plot was fairly put together. I mean like most movies that have any sort of a thriller element they are almost completely predictable but at least this film did not fully rely on that. now as for the second film I saw, Sweeney Todd, I had to say for a musical it was actually really good. Since being a Tim Burton movie, that sorta got me there since I really love his films. The first thing people notice about this film is it's pretty gory, but to a person as desensitized as me that didn't bother me, actually the violence at some points was used almost comically. It's a pretty nutty movie about pretty nutty people and that's about it but what made it a bit different was well, it was a musical. It was I guess just different from the norm. I mean it was not an outstanding movie but it was at least commendable. Overall the movie was satisfying.

Well that's enough of my crappy-ass reviews that almost nobody reads so g'day y'all and have a happy new year!
